Required Materials to make a Hopper

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a hopper:

1 Chest
5 Iron Ingots

How to craft a Hopper in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Hopper

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a hopper, place 5 iron ingots and 1 chest in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a hopper, it is important that the iron ingots and chest are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box, 1 chest in the second box, and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a hopper.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the hopper will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Hopper to Inventory

Once you have crafted a hopper, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a hopper in Minecraft!
